This quad has come a long way! More to come. I also picked up a new quad that Is VERY RARE! You can see the sneak peak on my Instagram @2_vintage_ Check out my TikTok: @2_vintage_ Please SUBSCRIBE and LIKE if you enjoyed the video, it really helps me out a lot! Thank you for all your support!
I built an 03 with a port and polished head, trx450 carb with dyno jet stage 3 jet kit, k&N race filter in aluminum box with relocated battery to box, trx450 front suspension, hot-cams stage 3 cam, kibblewhite complete top end, 440 big bore kit with wiseco piston, oem rebuilt bottom end, complete big gun EVO-R exhaust from header back, Hinson race clutch and clutch basket, yfz450 complete front brake conversion, 39 tooth rear sprocket... damn was she fun.
My wife's father had an old Suzuki 250 like that. He bought it new back in the day and the only reason we don't have it now is that it was destroyed in a house fire a few years ago. Great machine that would go through anything.
On the quad runner you have to put it in super low it put the 4x4 in diff lock just a heads up so you don't think its broken or anything, you can do a mod so you can have it in diff lock in any range too.
Dude the 250 quad runner is very sick. Is looks to be in awesome shape, thats a keeper for the fleet.There hard to come by in good shape , there usally beat to nothing
@@tylerlark5634 if u like changing bearings all the time sure. Screw grease. I grease,antiseize, lock tight every bolt, nut, or bearing etc. Then i use a torque wrench. But hey. I don't cut corners. . Screw masks no fear no mask.
@@Boogerboys1990 oh I read it a couple times only a idiot would put lock tight on a bearing you said I grease antiseize lock tight every bolt nut bearing ect
Cool little quad I had a Suzuki 250 just like that about a 97-96 It was awesome It would go where bigger ones couldn't through tight trails I could leave bigger quads I liked that you could take it out of 4 wheel and drift through corners and do donuts very easy Wish I wouldn't have sold it now 😭😭😭
I like your videos, Learned a ton from you , also just wanted to ask if you could post some links of the parts you’re using will help us greatly. I got a warrior that needs bunch of repairs and parts and I’m having hard time finding them
I'm not sure about oven cleaner but toilet bowl cleaner the one with around 10% hydrochloric acid in it does wonders scrub it with steel wool a few times stuff great
I have a question about my 2011 rmk 800. When I first bought the sled I use the be able to let the sled warm up for a minute or two before I would ride it. But know it can’t run for 15 seconds idling and it will foul a plug just the clutch side. I didn’t really do anything about the problem I would just start the sled up and run it slowly around the yard till it was warmed up then it would not foul a plug. Now the engine light is on and it sputters at high rpm like when you are wheeling. Could it be a fuel issue or a spark issue or clutching? I hope you understand this message and can get back to me thanks! Compression is 120-130ish
400ex are wheelie machines, still baffled why these guys can’t wheelie or drag race?! However love the videos. FYI dude shift without the clutch on back wheels to help you shift while wheeling
Runs good but seriously have got to get the smoking issue fixed and the oil leak. The second gear id fix that as well since it has the hot cams setup. I mean why not?!! Might as well right?!!
Lock the diff and remove the pin that stops it @ 29mph or whenever the governor kicks in on diff lock so you have 2 wheel peel in the back as fast as you want it
Outlaw racing distribution centers 15 minutes from my house. They make good products and awsome people. One of the few places I know will let you walk into there distribution center and let you buy anything you need and always gives me 20% discount
You can if ya search a lot of sights every day I've seen some pretty good deals lately to bad I'm broke right now lol That is a good deal I agree He didn't have to put a fortune in it and it runs great slap a seat cover on it and it would look pretty dang good for 650 ✌️
if it’s not the piston rings then it could be a newer pipe because they smoke a lot when you throw one on. My 400ex did the same thing but my rings are fine and doesn’t smoke anymore but it’s probably the rings
I have a stage 3 hot cam and she lopes nice and good my values just needs to be adjusted because it say for it years and she still run like a bat out of hell
Hey man, did you put that c clip back in that goes on top of the stem bearing? If not there’s a chance that it’ll pull the bearing right back out without it.

I have one but it's a 2001 Arctic cat 250 with a Suzuki motor same thing but mine is 5speed
Did you buy a new green quad? Btw i am the person who just found your tic tok last night
You should put the 440 kit on the 400ex
@@mysteryman3255 yep!
Free atv 400ex

Random guy: how many 400ex’s do you have
2vintage: yes

Yes but it didnt go thtough the fire
18:10 I totally thought I was tripping on this part. I think I started my weekend a little too early. 😵 Lol. Thanks for the video man.
Lol repeat! Lolol
Being a small engine repair mechanic has been my dream
Hey man I love your videos!!! I think it is cool that we are seeing a lot of 400ex videos!!! This is the content that I LOVE!!!

Quick reminder there is a COOL new quad he wants to show us 🤔🙄😁😂🤣
He only said it 7 times🤣
really cool
That's from when youtubers want to say it right so they do it 9000 times but he forgot to edit it back lmao
been loving the 400ex videos keep it up!!
Good to hear! I love the 400ex's
You are starting to get good at wrenching keep it up 2vintage.
Idle sounds high and either got a valve noise or the super common loose timing chain unless I’m hearing something loose rattle
Love the videos. Didn't see the suzuki coming. Those are awesome fourwheelers
I laughed for a solid 5 minutes, honestly funny, not making fun of you at all. I appreciate the laugh!
Did u grease the stem bearing? They only come with packing grease. Not enough at all
Screw grease you don’t gotta grease anything
@@tylerlark5634 if u like changing bearings all the time sure. Screw grease. I grease,antiseize, lock tight every bolt, nut, or bearing etc. Then i use a torque wrench. But hey. I don't cut corners. . Screw masks no fear no mask.
@@Boogerboys1990 you lock tight bearings ....wth for?
@@enjoythesho1992 I said every nut bolt bearing etc . Read it again. There's a step for every move. And no grease in a bearing wear 95% faster lol
@@Boogerboys1990 oh I read it a couple times only a idiot would put lock tight on a bearing you said I grease antiseize lock tight every bolt nut bearing ect
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BRO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thank you!
That Suzuki is sweet. Lookin forward to that one.

Love that little Suzuki...great video Bro...keep up the great work.
That top end is rattling like crazy
You don't need to hit the break when shifting the Suzuki it's semi auto lol
It’s probably habit 😂
I seen that I was like wtf is he doing 😂
Lol yeah he thinks it’s a clutch bike
Hey it’s not a clutch bike I saw this and I’m confused I’m about to buy a 400ex so I not have to use the clutch when shifting is it optional
@@stephengatton9840 400ex? Yea you need to use clutch
Sounds like you have some off idle stumble and some breakup at high rpms when you went down the street. May need to clean carb or check jetting.
Just noticed your Iowa state hat I’m from Iowa as well and thinking about getting a cheap project quad like this
By far my favorite youtuber man keep up the good work🤟😁
What is that rattling sound?
Love your new pup!
Hey 2 vintage when is the new quad video gonna be out
Now you have 2 breaker bars !!! 😆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hahaha
Do a Xr650l build plz🙌🏽
18:30 I felt drunk for a second 😅
Another great video im loving all the quad content!!
Put the gray race plastics onto the first red one
400ex is a perfect trial/play bike. Not a 450R nor will it ever be but great all around bike!

DRW are basically the best case savers by far.
Couldn't be ring gap because the rings actually slowly rotate while engine runs. Ring gaps mainly need lining up for initial first start
Are you sure that quad runner is clutch driven or is it your back brake? Never seen a clutched 4x4
Not a clutch. It is rear brake
Only real fans know about the secret green machine, great video joe btw.
does he have the spark arrestor on cause i was planning on getting one but i dont know if he has it on
Keep the good work up man
Do you sale all the 4 wheelers from the banshee to the quadzilla
Put those red front plastics on your nice 400ex. Make it look alot better. And put the cut ones on the other red one
This guy just called the tie rod nuts a arm nuts 😂😂😂
I'm not sure about oven cleaner but toilet bowl cleaner the one with around 10% hydrochloric acid in it does wonders scrub it with steel wool a few times stuff great

Can you do a video on installing the Leds I’ve been looking for a vid on that and no luck

Professional bearing BRACE puller!!
Get some bar riser if you want the bars a bit higher
Over 1k views already joe is the goat 🐐
Great job on the video's man keep up the good work on the rides
That’s the greatest dog ever it’s a little hairy teddy bear lookin creature
Hahaha
have u rode or have a 400ex with a stage one cam and if so witch did u like better / whats was the diff between stages 1 and 2
Amazing 650$$ its so cheap. You cant even buy a pitbike for that.
You can if ya search a lot of sights every day I've seen some pretty good deals lately to bad I'm broke right now lol That is a good deal I agree He didn't have to put a fortune in it and it runs great slap a seat cover on it and it would look pretty dang good for 650 ✌️
Picked up a 2001 400ex for 500 bucks. Had an oil leak and flat tire. Fixed both of those and it runs amazing.
You actually can get one for 650 brand new on one of those sites
@@XeL_666 what site did you get it from I’m trying to find one cheap to fix up
@@xxholyreflexxx9245 check Facebook and Craigslist prolly Facebook be your best bet and there’s groups on there you could search
19:08..You don't have to screw the oil stick all the way in.
Awesome video man
Nice work on the 400 looks to be leaking oil pretty bad?
Those old handle bars can be your new breaker bar LOL
That's that plan🤣
@@2vintage 😂😂😂🤣
Are you making the tekati 4 vid? (I saw the TikTok)
kickstart boots pedal it is fun good luck to go
Love the vids keep up the good work
You got a new breaker bar off the 400 lol
Try some evaporust that stuff work wonders!
if it’s not the piston rings then it could be a newer pipe because they smoke a lot when you throw one on. My 400ex did the same thing but my rings are fine and doesn’t smoke anymore but it’s probably the rings
Hey bro I got two act 90s and one act 70 you interested?
You should check out John Kara glann innovations chain guard and slides, awesome accessories for quads
I will do that!
Was you really pulling the brake back on the Suzuki to shift an take off on it lol it’s not a clutch
Screw it in. Don’t have to tighten but screw down yes.
My dad has a 05 400ex.He just bought a lexx pipe for it are they any good?
Where’s the Tecate??
The dog is adorable
You should get a Honda trx300ex to learn wheelies they are good wheelie quad that’s how I learned to do sitting wheelies
Check the carrier bearings
I didn’t see a new c-clip go back in to hold the bearing in place.
Where. Get the leds from?
The suzuki 250 is a semi automatic just shift the gears up or down the lever your pulling should be the back break
Hey Joe, no more videos updates on the house?
Love the vids keep up the good work.
7:46 dump that handle bar and get yourself a snap on or Mac breaker bar for how much you use it
That rattling you can hear check the heat shield it may be loose
Cut the front plastics on one of the 400 ex’s you’ll like the way it looks
I just got a 03 crf150f its a pretty fun starter bike
you should try a side wheelie.
Yes Bicycles are fun
Terrible for your wheel bearings.
You don’t screw the dip stick in when checking the oil
Did you sell the 450r or am I not waiting long enough to see it in the video
I use 20-50 mineral oil in my dr750 because it drinks the 10-40 full synthetic like it's nothing
That Suzuki will go anywhere you want it to
Yo joe, if oil was passing threw the rings it may give you a higher compression then it actually is.
That is true!
You should do a giveaway
Yah to me ikr
Yea me
Yea to me
Did you sell the 450r
Pretty cool, it’s pretty cool, it’s pretty cool
I have a stage 3 hot cam and she lopes nice and good my values just needs to be adjusted because it say for it years and she still run like a bat out of hell
This videos are useful to learn
The 400ex videos are awesome!! What brand impact do you use in the vids?
Hey man, did you put that c clip back in that goes on top of the stem bearing? If not there’s a chance that it’ll pull the bearing right back out without it.
Ues I did. Surprisingly it fit.nice and tight in there.
How much did you sell the 450 for??
